USPS brought me something today.




Novarossi 21BF. I bought it off someone on the grid. He also gave me a rb air filter and what I think are panther stinger tires. I already put my Tony's Screws kit on the engine.

I just need a pipe, clutch assembly, and starter box. My filter hits the top of the body. When I am putting the body on, it will keep the body from going on all the way and I need to push the body on. Is this with all 1/8 buggies?

Anyone know what is wrong with the grids for sale thread?

The "for sale" section has been moved. Next time your on, look above the picture and you'll see the swapmeet link to the B/S/T section.

UE If I decide to get rid of my ofna chrome top you will be the first to know! I have to try to get rid of my buggy first so it may take a while.

Other than that the motor looks really nice!

Thanks. It should be done by the start of the outdoor season hopefully.

How do you make your own thread?

Select "Enter a new item" in the drop down menu in the upper right hand side.

what exactly is "the grid" ? link to site?

try using the ofna "s" bend air filter coupler. I had the same prob with my hyper and cut the crap out of my stock body try'n to get it right. the "s" bend is a lil soft and flimsy but im working on an insert to fix that. its not a huge issue but Id like it to be a lil more sturdy.

racin' ranger, I sent you a PM.

rusty, thanks. I am running to my LHS for some things and I will see if they have it.

They didn't have the OFNA neck.

I should break this in with 20% then switch to 30% right?

I was always told to break the motor in on what you were going to run in it.

I would break it in on 30% personally. Nice motor BTW
All your clutch stuff will be there like Tuesday or something. I got the cash today

its no big deal if the filter hits the body, if u do get the ofna S bend, make sure u use a spring to hold the filter to the back of the car, it is flimsy and I have had it swing forward and kill the motor.

Sounds good.

I was just asking because when I was at my LHS, they said to just break it in with what you are going to run. I thought that breaking it in with 30% wouldn't be good because it has such a low oil content.

Thanks

I will see how it goes with the filter. Thanks about the spring trick.

30% doesnt have a lower oil content...

That's why you break an engine in a little rich. By running it a little on the rich side, you are giving the engine the extra oil it needs for break-in. Just break it in with whatever fuel you plan to use. I've been running 40% for the past 2 years and don't change fuels for break-in, and have never had a problem. (The only engine that did go bad on me, was partly due to a crack in the exhaust, making tuning difficult. Even then, there was quite a bit of runtime on that engine.)

like Mike said, 30% doesn't have a lower oil content that 20%.

Trinity Platinum has 8% oil whether it's 20% or 30%
O'donnell's has 11%, and so on.

Thanks for clearing that up.
